...once a politician is branded as inauthentic, however unfairly, it's hard to shake the label. (Ask Gore.) And the Edwards campaign has not always done a good job of anticipating and shutting down potential lines of attack.

The next shuttle mission, Shannon said, will likely include an in-space test of repair options, so mission managers can better understand what they're facing...
